OK, so the fix is presented in 2503, thanks for reporting!

Thanks for taking care of this issue!

Previously I've used Banshee for Linux Ubuntu, which is discontinued for a few years now. There you could only rate in full stars and not half stars.

Hi,
analyzing your DB and many songs have rating value 76 (from interval 0-100) and you are right that MM5 interpretes such a songs as 3.5 stars (while MM4 shows tham as 4 stars).

Fixed as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18306 for 5.0.2.2503


BTW: Which app you used to rate the tracks previously?

Support ticket has been issued, by the way...

Please offer your database to Support: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/

You can attach it if under 5MB, otherwise upload to a fileshare like Dropbox or OneDrive and enter the link to the fileshare in your Support Ticket.

I originally used Banshee for Ubuntu Linux to rate the songs. I did this manually. Since I used MediaMonkey 4 for Windows (2 OSes in parallel on the same laptop) I have possibly rated a few songs with MM4. Since Banshee was my main media player and couldn't rate with half stars, I probably didn't use that feature with MM4.
So the 3,5 stars were added with the MM5 feature at the end of the day...

You can try a File > Manage Database and rebuild the database.

Did you originally rate these files 3.5 yourself or did you use an Addon in MediaMonkey 4 to Rate the files?

I've already tried a few times, but it doesn't change the outcome at all...

Can you select the 3.5 star files and re-apply the 3.5 star Rating. You may have to change it to 4 then back to 3.5 to have it actually change.

Here you are:



The playlist contains 1393 files that are 3,5 stars. The remaining 500 files are 4 stars (most of them), 4,5 stars and 5 stars...

The page mentions that new users can't post URL's. So you'll have to add spaces like http:// www. google.com/93984798

Thanks for the quick reply !

Well, somehow this page tells me
"You can’t post image, email or url links that are external to this domain. Please remove [the beginning of the link]" .
It doesn't work with Dropbox either. Don't know if it has to do with restrictions for new users of the forum (I'm new here)...

A note of the settings:
Search: Musik
Match All of the following criteria:
Rating >= 4 stars
Limit to: 50 files [is deactivated and doesn't affect the stars issue]
Selected by: Added (most recent)
Sort by: Added Z..A

Looks legit to me. I used auto playlists with at least 2 other media players before, so I already have some experience in setting this kind of playlist up.

Extra information: Also, there are songs with metadata
with japanese letters/signs,
symbols like " and ' and _
and I also have permanent "auto-organize files" active,
used interface language is German

I'm unable to reproduce with 2502 (yet to be released). Can you tell us which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 you're using and perhaps a screenshot showing the AutoPlaylist rules and the wrong results would be helpful: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=97733

Hi, when MM5 created the media archive, I was asked how files with 4 stars should be treated (I think). I answered with "rate them all as 3,5 stars" (the media player I used before only had full stars and no half stars, so I wanted to make use of this feature right away).
Now each time I create an auto playlist, that should involve songs with >= 4 stars, it also includes songs with only 3,5 stars, even though it, logically speaking, shouldn't. Even songs that had 3 stars, and I manually changed to 3,5 stars would appear in the auto playlist of >= 4 stars ...
I guess the MM5 feature I mentioned in the beginning messed up the auto playlist logic...

Is there any way to correct this problem?
